When a customer messages you on WhatsApp, a 24-Customer Service Window starts. During this window, you can send free-form messages or message templates to the customer without additional charges.
If more than 24 hours have passed since the customer's last message, you are outside the customer service window and must use an to contact the customer again, just like you would if you were initiating a brand-new conversation with them.
The 24-hour customer care window for WhatsApp provides a layer of protection for customers by ensuring that businesses respond to their inquiries within a specified time frame, and by protecting them from unwanted or spammy business messages.
This window allows customers to initiate a conversation with a business, ask questions, and get the support they need in a timely manner.
We make it easy for agents to work with the Customer Care Window in Inbox by blocking the message composer once 24 hours have passed since the customer's last message.
We also display a countdown timer to inform agents of how much time remains for them to reply.
